My camera strap broke at the worst possible moment in a Seattle ferry line

I was waiting to board with my Pentax K1000 and the whole thing just fell, bouncing once before I caught it. Now I triple-check the clasp before I even leave the house. Anyone else have a gear failure story that made you paranoid?

That "bouncing once" sound is the worst. My old tripod leg collapsed mid-shoot and now I check every lock like a crazy person.

Wait, it bounced on concrete? How is the camera even alive?
